Hey all,
Was looking to sign up to Raisin but notice it sets up a Starling account to fund whatever savings accounts are set up. I'm already with Starling for my main current acount so was wondering if this will cause any issues before I sign on the dotted line

PS You may want to visit the fixed interest threads - AFAIK Raisin doesn't do easy access so doesn't get discussed 

They have got them / and current best rate is within the up to date top 10.. 

Apologies Yep I was in a rush this morning & suffered a memory function failure - posted without normal dilligence.

It's very annoying to have to open new accounts and go through the convoluted process of closing old ones! I suppose it must work for Tesco, even if not for their customers.

You can close them without phoning them, though I've never tried it

Yet when you go to the Gatehouse website, the rate for their Easy Access Account shows it as being at 1.80%!

I agree. A problem I've had with Tesco savings accounts is that I elect to go paperless and I expect my statements to be available to download. When opening a new account to get a better rate, I have elected to close the old one. Unfortunately they only allow, I think, up to 5 accounts to be viewed online while others just vanish. They send me an email saying the closing statement is available to view, but instead they send me an unwanted paper statement by post.

So, as you say their whole process is convoluted.
